Find podcast recording studios near me

Podcast recording studios average $125 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $93, whereas larger venues run about $214 per hour.

If you're renting a podcast recording space, you may not need to bring anything at all to record your podcast—recording studios will often have all the equipment needed. For a DIY setup, the most important is, of course, the microphone. A reliable XLR or USB microphone will do the job. A pop filter is a cheap and useful accessory to go along with it. In some cases, a USB audio interface will be helpful and may also serve as a mixer. A pair of headphones will generally be needed, so you can monitor your own audio without getting feedback. Finally, you'll need some audio editing software, as well as the know-how to use it. For a brand new podcaster, this can seem daunting, but with just a little practice, you'll be topping the charts in no time.

There are a million ways to make a podcast recording, but skimping on the audio quality is a surefire way to get ignored. Amateurish production communicates to the audience that you're not a serious podcaster, and sharp, professional production grabs their attention from the moment they start listening. With high-quality microphones and a little know-how, you can record in your own home using your own computer. That can get quite expensive though, and it can also be difficult to ensure that your home recording space is sufficiently quiet. The better option, especially in the beginning, is to rent some time in a professional podcast studio or another production space. In many cases, you'll find podcast recording venues that not only have all the equipment you need on hand but also have engineers or owners who can help you record.
